Plan B for WF Move - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Jon · 10-01-2007, 03:54 PM

Alright.

The original idea was to create new sections in the paid area so it would be organized correctly and have the better/premium ideas and shit going on.

So in true WickedFire spirit and fashion, we went the easy route instead of the originally planned smarter route.

We're changing it now.

The free area will have: All of the old sections like before. No sigs (sorry), limited PM's, Etc.

The paid area will have: More in-depth and better laid out sections and sub-sections. All of the good posts/threads (I'm doing this by hand today). New threads from me every week laying out ideas that I would normally NEVER post here because I don't want them getting whored out or used by the masses. Sigs to all. 500 PM's limit. A shit ton of other perks that I'll lay out AFTER I finish upgrading the paid area.

To those who paid, sit tight for a day, if you feel that you'd like your money back, I'll refund ya.

To those who have made really good contributions to WickedFire in the past, email me at Jon@wickedfire.com with a link to the thread, and your WF username, and I'll add you to the paid area for free for at least 1 month.

Empty promises from before... As a good buddy of mine pointed out, people are sick of empty promises from us. So I need anyone willing to help out and launch everything with us if they can. I'll take all the help I can get. If you're a designer, we need you. If you're a php programmer or coder, we especially need you. I can either pay you in $$$ or comp you here. Email me on Jon@wickedfire.com with the subject line: WickedFire Sections.

We need help and this is where we need you. So instead of just saying "oh it would be great if you did something with the buttons on the top". Now you have a chance to help and be apart of the community in a way that we would be VERY grateful for it. We won't leave anyone behind who helps out, and want to compensate everyone willing to lend a hand. If we can get all of this done before AD:TECH NY, I would be shocked and would love you guys and girls more than my Adderall (that's saying A LOT to those who know me!).

The paid areas are being put into play because we want to seperate the good ideas from the shit ideas. Leaving the shit ideas for people to play with here and do whatever they want with them. The paid area for people who are actually serious about making cash or who want to further their careers in the affiliate and internet marketing industry.

If you want to leave WickedFire because you're too much of a lurker or leech to ever post anything good here anyway, good, be gone with you. Go spoil another forum. To those more senior members who feel they've given more here than recieved, let me know and we'll work something out.

I would much rather 90% of the shitty people leave and never come back, than the 10% of you who make this place great and keep it going according to the original plans. To those who spend their time and effort on here giving without getting back, WF owes it to ya to keep you on board and I do too. Stay and help and let's make a difference together for once!

RuDeDoGg · 10-01-2007, 04:01 PM

Good luck and good ideas. I'll sign up for the paid whenever I stop being lazy (hopefully later today).

PS: This little reply box is killing my ego man..

Jon · 10-01-2007, 04:03 PM

Yeah I don't know why the reply box became a midget.

ScottDaMan · 10-01-2007, 04:07 PM

An idea I have, perhaps giving a one week only huge discount to forum contributors for an annual subscription

wesley · 10-01-2007, 04:10 PM

And offer some different payment methods too.

Drover · 10-01-2007, 04:12 PM

I still count myself as a newbie, but not I'm at least a profitable newbie thanks largely to WF. Whatever direction this goes and however it all ends up, thanks for what you've provided up to now, Jon. It's been great, and as soon as I think I can afford it I'll be upgrading.

Wanna write the ebook sales page for that? Hahaha

Such as?

trentiles · 10-01-2007, 04:22 PM

I know I don't even have 10 posts yet but I just want to say that this site is a gem. All those "other" forums with similar topics suck compared to WF. The people here and the community is top notch and I'm really to looking to learn a lot from everyone and hope I can help others as well.

One suggestion has to do with the site fee's. Maybe you could offer a few different plans. Have the monthly fee at $35, but then also offer a 6 month and yearly plans at a discounted rate. I think you will entice more people to sign up for the paid membership this way.

MDSandB · 10-01-2007, 04:27 PM

Hey Jon,

How about having people pay for having sticky threads in sections.

Like u pay for a week n get ur thread sticky in a particular section for a week.

Also please do something about this shitty quick reply box...it fucking small now

bubbles · 10-01-2007, 04:41 PM

This is what I originally hoped for when you mentioned paid sections... I like the way this is going.

petabread · 10-01-2007, 04:51 PM

Thanks, I can live with this. For a second I thought you were keeping the noobs to the curb.

Jon · 10-01-2007, 04:56 PM

BTW... I'm not shooting ideas down whatsoever if it comes across as that. So keep them coming.

Gotta love how everything here is always done backwards. We launch, retract, then ask for feedback, hahaha. It's like we're dyslexic when it comes to launching shit.

0352 · 10-01-2007, 04:57 PM

Will free members be able to search? Even if it comes back and says "sorry, that is in the paid forum". But it would be great for the BST section.

seocracy · 10-01-2007, 05:04 PM

Glad to see your post here Jon. I think you're making the right choice by going with the original plan.

I emailed ya.

natekapi · 10-01-2007, 05:09 PM

Is it just me or does $35 a month seem like a lot? If it was $10 a month I'd probably do it, but not $35. That's more than a porn site!

I thought you were going to do the paid thing just to keep *some* unwanted people out.

BlondeTM · 10-01-2007, 05:09 PM

I paid a few minutes ago.

Please, for the love of all that is holy or unholy, fix the posting issue. I despise firefox. Loathe it. Like you, which is why I'm doing this, but loathe firefox and want to use Explorer.
